Series: United Kingdom - Quintessentially British A-Z Ten Pences
With iconic heroes such as Bond by our side, We’ll embrace this adventure with valour and pride.
First debuting as a film character more than 50 years ago, few fictional characters remain as popular as Bond.
The brainchild of novelist Ian Fleming, James Bond is the ultimate hero. Since his creation in 1953, Bond has been the idol for many men and women, defining what it means to be ‘cool’.
Bond first appeared on our screens in 1962 in the classic inaugural film, Dr No. Now some 56 years later, 007 is still our favourite secret agent, and with a new cinematic adventure on the horizon for 2019, we can’t wait.
